- Thread-topic: [Fed-Talk] New Mac user - how to enable remote desktop connectionusing CAC reader/CAC & PIN
As a layman, I have no idea what is actually (technically) happening
with AF Portal CAC log-in, but I'll give my birds and bees version:
The AF Portal server that requests authentication has the same location
prefix as the AF Portal server that performs the authentication, so Mac
OS X Identity Preferences get fooled, and your Mac keeps sending its
authentication to the requestor server instead of the authenticating
server...or something like that.
Anyway, I noticed that sometimes if I kept cycling through the
certificate selection prompts over and over (close to 100 times), on
rare occasions, I would actually get in to the AF Portal.
I just guessed that at some point there is some sort of time-out, and
the requestor AF Portal server is no longer communicating with Mac OS X,
so the authentication finally gets sent to the authentication AF Portal
server. I picked 5 minutes as the time-out limit, tried the method out
a few times, and was able to log-in successfully about 50% of the time.

Okay, that... is just a pile of fail. Why do you have to wait 5
minutes?
